Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

"Come in and have a seat?"

Zhao Xinglong looked out the window and issued the invitation to Su Jie and the others.

"Su Jie?"

Zhang Manman's gaze was piercing.

Zhao Xinglong had already discovered them, it seemed they had to go in and take a look.

Moreover, the other party didn't seem to have any intention of starting a fight.

"Let's go."

Leading the way, Su Jie pushed open the glass door and sat across from Zhao Xinglong, "Mr. Zhao, hello."

"Su Jie, you look very special." Zhao Xinglong brewed four cups of hot tea for the group, his gaze meaningfully fixed on Su Jie.

"Mr. Zhao, how can we win your approval?" Su Jie wanted to get straight to the point as game time was limited, "Is it through combat?"

Zhao Xinglong picked up his teacup, laughed lightly, and took a sip, "Life isn't all about fighting."

This implied that it wouldn't be through combat.

"You know, I used to be the owner of a small company, compelled by life's demands... If it weren't for that one time I went to challenge Ming Lun, cough cough!"

At this point, Zhao Xinglong coughed twice, "Let's not talk about that. The test is simple, just help me strategize to grow and strengthen my company!"

Zhang Manman: "..."

Is this a test?

It hardly seemed like a trial.

"Are you sure?" Su Jie was perplexed. What sort of test was this?

It was rather odd.

"Not willing?" Zhao Xinglong lifted his teacup, took a sip, "Then we can fight as well, just withstand my full-on attack for one minute and that will be enough."

"By the way, the injuries I inflict can't be healed with potions, they can only be healed using one's natural recovery abilities."

"It's up to you to decide."

Can only be healed using one's natural recovery abilities?

In the competition, their physical bodies were evolved by the mind and not real, yet indistinguishable from reality.

The only difference was that they could quickly replenish health and mana with the various potions available in the game.

But facing Zhao Xinglong, they couldn't use game potions to heal?

This was seeking one's own demise.

Su Jie guessed there must have been quite a few players who found Zhao Xinglong, but likely both conditions were too harsh, so everyone gave up.

It wasn't worth wasting time on this or suffering from injuries that couldn't heal.

Retreat was the best choice.

Chen Tian Yuzi spoke up, "Mr. Zhao, isn't this too difficult? Is there a simpler option?"

In response to Chen Tian Yuzi's adorable eyes, Zhao Xinglong was unmoved and nodded lightly, "Yes, simply walk out the door, I won't keep you."

He was a democratic person and wouldn't force anyone to make a choice.

Just leave.

However, if Su Jie really did leave, he would be somewhat disappointed.

Zhang Manman asked, "Mr. Zhao, I want to know what the special equipment is. Can it help us secure victory?"

Indeed, knowing what the equipment was in advance could give people more motivation.

Su Jie was also somewhat expectant.

Zhao Xinglong had no intention of hiding it and straightforwardly took out a palm-sized box.

The box was pitch-black with no seams, and its surface was very smooth, without any patterns.

Click!

Zhao Xinglong used a little bit of force and opened the box.

A white light shone out from inside.

Especially against the backdrop of the black box, the white light was even more conspicuous.

After everyone's eyes adjusted for a while, they saw a crystal only the size of a thumb.

Rhombic, crystalline, and lucid.

It appeared to be the most immaculate object in the world, yet it didn't strike people as luxurious, as if it were an inconspicuous pebble on the ground.

"What is this?" This is a sample from My Virtual Library Empire. Read the rest on M-VLEMPYR.

Zhang Manman's heart raced, feeling as if she were longing for this crystal.

"The Heart of Crystal."

Zhao Xinglong looked deeply at Zhang Manman, "To a student practicing the Crystal Visualization Skill like you, it's fatally attractive."

"The Crystal Visualization Skill was derived by my teacher Chan Yinsha from the crystal beings of another world."

"It's a purely mental technique to clear away stray thoughts... Under normal conditions, ordinary people can't reach a profound level of cultivation and would switch to another technique from Ming Lun or some other sect or power that uses our Ming Lun's spiritual cultivation concepts."

"Few treat the Crystal Visualization Skill as their lifelong main cultivation technique, but it seems you do."

Zhang Manman didn't deny it, speaking frankly, "I believe one should be consistent in their cultivation, so I only practice the Crystal Visualization Skill."

"That's not wrong." Zhao Xinglong agreed, "You should have already felt the Heart of Crystal's attraction to you."

"For someone who only practices the Crystal Visualization Skill, although it has the name [Heart], it does not actually refer to the heart, but to spirit, thought, will."

"So, the Heart of Crystal is the physical manifestation of spiritual energy. When absorbing it, place it on the center of your forehead and connect through your mind, it will naturally enter your brain and combine with the pineal gland to become a more unique organ—the Heavenly Eye."

"Of course, it doesn't mean you'll grow a third eye on your forehead like the mythical characters. That would be extremely imprecise."

"After all, who would expose their important organs to the outside world?"

"So, after integrating and evolving, there will be an organ within your brain like a crystal, which will allow you to make your Crystal Visualization even purer."

"Moreover, you will be able to project your spirit externally."

"With your current level of meditation, you could manifest your spiritual power externally, but at most it would have a hypnotic effect."

"But after merging with it, you could even use your spirit to create thought forms that everyone can see."

"If your spiritual power is sufficient, multitasking will be within easy reach, which can also be considered a form of cloning in a sense."
